- I have a 486DX-33MHz with 4MB RAM (4*1MB*9). Recently I got 1MB
- for free (4*256kB*3) and put them into my PC.
-
- However, the new SIMMs are marked KMM59256AN-10. Does the "10"
- indicate that they are 100ns SIMMs? The 4MB already in my PC is
- 70ns.
-
- The PC seems to work as normal (I had to put the new SIMMs in bank 0),
- but I wonder if the new SIMMs are too slow. If so, would any errors
- be trapped by the parity error check (which I've enabled) or would
- the files I'm editing/saving be destroyed without me noticing it?
-
- To summarize: If my PC *seems* to work ok, is the new SIMM's speed
- ok, or can I expect errors in saved files?
